"Put this date in your diaries now and come and join me and hundreds and hundreds of my friends for the 44th Scottish Borders Historic Motoring Extravaganza.

I am really excited because this year I will get the chance to meet some of the BMW cars celebrating the marques 100th year, that's almost as old as me ! This year we are looking at some of the new fangled electric cars and we will be having a visit from Tesla. Very nice looking car but doesn't have my curvy lines. The 'big' Red bus coming along is really more my thing but if you really like electric things, why not get some raffle tickets, you might get to win our star prize this year, an electric bicycle no less. All proceeds going to charity.

Is it any wonder that Sunday Times Driving named the show the best classic car festival in Scotland, it as 'Bordering on Fabulous'.

We also have lots of new activities and an even bigger craft tent for 2016. All my friends at the Borders Vintage Automobile Club are working hard to make sure the event promises to be an exciting day out for the whole family with more family focused activities and amazing cars than ever before.
